    Summary

    The wall gave way.
    Not progressively. All at once. With that kind of collapse that things have that are built to withstand too much pressure for too long, they don't erode, they break. And when they break, they do so completely, without giving the mind time to intervene with its reasons and its calculations and its reminders of everything at stake.
    "Fuck it," I said.

    Summary

    Bas can’t escape the woman who won’t take no for an answer.

    Taggie can’t forget the man who never picked her.

    They agree to help each other, thinking it will be simple. But in a place where everyone’s watching, it’s easy to lose track of what’s real and what’s only for show.

    And if you play the role for too long, sometimes it’s who you truly become.

    Summary

    Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in their Agni Kai many years ago. No matter how many times he tried to bury it, his feelings for Katara refused to fade. At every shared meal, every sparring match, and every return to the Fire Palace, he found himself hoping — just once — that her eyes would meet his and reignite the spark that had flared the moment he took Azula's lightning for her... but they never did.

    Her gaze always found Aang instead. And, in time, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, for the fragile balance of their friendship. The Avatar and the healer, bound together as if by fate.

    But when Katara comes to the Fire Nation during a quiet break from Aang, the Fire Lord begins to notice something he hadn't allowed himself to see before. Whenever he looked away...

    She always looked back.

    Summary

    Ten years have passed since the war. Katara has spent them in near-total, self-imposed isolation on Crescent Island in an attempt to bury the memories of what she endured. Content to be forgotten while the rest of the Gaang rebuilds the world, she has chosen distance from everything she once thought she wanted.║After an assassination attempt leaves Fire Lord Zuko wounded and results in the death of his uncle, he goes to the one place he’d sworn never to return to: her. Reckless with grief and anger, an unravelling Zuko asks Katara to become the Southern Water Tribe’s ambassador in the Imperial City. Faced with the threat of another war breaking out, she has no other choice but to agree. But the longer she remains at court, the more she realises something is deeply wrong. Conspiracies are brewing beneath the surface, stretching across all four nations.║Zuko is not the boy she remembers, but there is something of him in the man she meets now for the first time. He is as obsessive and vengeful as a dragon, hardened by pain and betrayal. And despite everything she knows, despite every reason she gives herself to stay distant, to keep herself and her heart safe, she finds herself drawn back to him anyway. Like a moth to flame.
